I know the address that I hold bch in, but only bch, not bitcoins. How do I export the private keys from Bitcoin unlimited node?

Open your Bitcoin Unlimited wallet and do the following:

1. Help -> Debug Window -> Console.
2. If your wallet has a password write: walletpassphrase "your password" 600
3. To export your private-key, use: dumpprivkey "your BCH address"
4. Copy the result. That's your private-key.

Go to Electron Cash:

1. Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys -> Paste your private-key from step 4 -> Next.

Wow I was looking for this! Thanks a lot, I managed to import the private keys.

Cheers

Electron Cash[1] is a lightweight SPV wallet.

Unlike Bitcoin ABC, you don't need to download the whole blockchain before spending your coins.

Electron cash crashes when I try to run the .dat backup wallet file, even if I run it as administrator. What else can I do ?

Do you know which adresses hold bitcoin cash balances? Simply import the wallet.dat in a bitcoin wallet, or where it originially came from, find the adresses that held bitcoin at the time of the fork (and now bitcoin cash), and export their private keys in a bitcoin cash compatible wallet, -- instead of importing the entire wallet.dat... ?

Hello there,

I have a small problem. I have a bch wallet with little bit of bch in it that I want to sell. However, the node that the wallet belongs to is taking too much time to sync. I have been waiting a month now it has not even moved a year, since the computer is old and cannot process very large amounts of data.

So I am asking how to use this bch without fulfilling the node completely? Is there a way to open the wallet in some website ?

Thanks!
